Harajuku/Omotesando

Photo credit: website Came from the US, opened its first branch in Japan on March 24, 2017. Located in the Omotesando area, which is always filled with people walking down the nice streets on weekends. They serve very flavorful hamburgers,…

A unique Chinese restaurant that serves various wine to go with the Chinese dishes. Though they also have beer on the menu, they strongly recommend wine, and they actually serve awesome meat dishes, particularly crispy deep fried pork, whi…

Well-known for the curry Udon (the photo on top) and it was very good as expected. The other dipping Udon dish wasn't as good (I'd say 4.0 on my scale). I'll only have the curry Udon going forward. A bit of a walk from Harajuku station but…

Photos from Tabelog One of the most highly rated French restaurants in Tokyo (as of December 2016) and it deos seeem pretty popular for those who pursue advanced, modern style French cuisine. Nice interior, appropriate for any important oc…

Photos from Tabelog Originally started in NY and came to Tokyo in 2013. American style pancake was a huge trend back then and is still popular. Nothing's overly surprising here and yet sophisticated and a good place for relaxed weekend mea…

A mixture of Tiwanese and Japanese cuisine, leaning more toward Japanese in fact, so expect it. Pretty good Natto rice/fried rice many Japanese would be a big fan of, but non-Japanese folks who have never tried Natto before, DO NOT even gi…

Seemingly a well-known bakery store from NY. Stuff here is refreshingly sweet and could possibly be way too sweet for many Japanese folks, but at the same time they tend to like ANYTHING that comes from NY so this bakery may get pretty pop…

One of the well-known, highly-rated modern French restaurants in Tokyo. They do lunch too. Nice and quiet space. Could be too quiet to talk about private/confidential stuff as tables are relatively close to each other and they overhear it.…

Photos by bottan Popular roasted beef bowl restaurant that has 2 branches in Tokyo: this one in Harajuku and the other in Takadanobaba. The Harajuku branch seems less crowded and you sometimes don't even need to wait in a line. Pretty good…

So far, THE best Yakiniku restaurant in central Tokyo, considering what you can be served for the 10,000 JPY price range. Super impressive how good each of the course dishes are and you never get tired of having them. They cook beef for yo…

Source: http://www.the-great-burger.com/ I've been to several other hamburger places in Tokyo that are better, but that being said, this one isn't bad. Should be a good lunch option when hanging out in this area, which you'd come around at…

Source: http://billsjapan.com/jp Not much explanation needed, probably. Originally from Sydney, Australia. Got pretty popular in Japan for its exceptionally fluffy mascarpone-cheese-mixed pancakes. 6 branches in Japan, 3 of which are in To…
